A more permanent repair effort will take two months with work scheduled to occur overnight to limit the impact on traffic, said Poei.

The permanent repair will include the installation of a new steel beam that will have to be manufactured.

Crews worked around the clock in three shifts to make needed repairs. Workers faced many challenges, including the removal of scaffolding that had been put in place before the collision as part of an ongoing painting and steel maintenance program.

“We are very pleased with the crews. This is not an easy task,” said Poei.

The OPP are continuing to investigate the crash.

No word yet on how much repairs will cost except that they will be extensive, said Poei. If the driver of the truck is found guilty, he will be responsible for the bill.
